Poland-Israel statement brings close to diplomatic ruffle

Quoting an Israeli official, Channel 10 reports that the joint statement brings a close to the diplomatic crisis between Israel and Poland.

The official says Israel’s representatives had demanded that Poland get rid of the parts of the law leveling criminal charges on blaming Poland for Holocaust crimes.

The channel also reports that opposition MK Itzik Shmuli is calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s move an “embarrassing attempt to claim a win over a law that did and continues to deny the Holocaust.”
